Abstract

Abstract When considering the occurrence of events in survival analysis, it is natural to think of them as being due to some underlying process crossing a limit. Myocardial infarction, for instance, occurs when occlusion of blood vessels in the heart reaches a certain level. The idea of viewing the event as due to the passage of a process beyond a limit may be formalized within standard models like Markov chains or Wiener processes. Although these models are highly idealized, they may still yield useful insights. The concept of quasi‐stationarity is of use in this context.
